Abstract

AbstractThere are around 2,304 sand dunes scattered within seven dune fields in Kuwait. The longest barchanoid chain dune in Kuwait is 2400 m and 900 m. All the dunes in Kuwait were mapped, sampled, and analyzed. This chapter passes through dunes in Kuwait covering the following:

The dunes mapping.

The dune migrations using satellite images.

The chemical properties include

Mineralogical properties.

X-ray diffraction (major and minor trace elements).

Micro-inclusions within Aeolian particles.

The physical properties include

The particle size analysis.

Statistical properties.

Particle micro-features.

BET surface area.

Perimeter and diameter.

This chapter covers all aspects regarding sand dunes in Kuwait; therefore, this chapter will be a key reference for future studies tackling aeolian landforms in Kuwait and regional areas.
